Sustainable and resilient livelihoods

In a context of increased unpredictability from climate change, disasters and conflict, ASURED International strengthens poor people’s capacity to anticipate, absorb and adapt to shocks, manage growing risks, address underlying causes of vulnerability and transform their lives in response to new hazards and opportunities. This enables ASURED International to better integrate its humanitarian, disaster risk reduction, social protection, climate change adaptation, natural resource management and other development actions. When communities are resilient the chances of moving out of poverty and thus having better livelihoods is greatly enhanced.
We build resilience against climate change by working with local communities to reduce the impact of climate change such as adapted farming methods and growing drought-resistant crops. We work to prevent disasters and food crises through promoting environmental sustainability and empowering people economically so they are better prepared for difficult times.
